Bohemia

There are very early traces (17th century) of ZEDLITZ in Bohemia. But it is still largely unclear how these are related to the other Zedlitz families.

More is known about a family originating from Zwickau. Probably Zwickau in Bohemia (district municipality Gabel) is meant here. Of course, it could also be Zwickau in Saxony.
